93% also. Not too shabby for a guy who lives in the east and has never seen a grizzly.

I tied BB with 73%.

However, in Canada this past summer, the bear we saw was unmistakably a griz - the hump was very obvious.

I got a 53%. You'd think, with all the bears running through the streets of NYC and through the subways, I'd do better!

I should be an ursologist.


In fact, I will proclaim my ursologyness RIGHT NOW!

I, go jo, do solomly swear, that I, being of sound mind and body, do officially proclaim my ursologyness before this court of my peers, therefore establishing me as the worlds first, and foremost, ursologist.

taaaadaaaaaaaaa!

A urologist? A bear urologist?

That's a dangerous line of work.

Hooweee!! I gots a hunert!!

Theres a much faster way to tell a Black bear from a Grizzly!
A bear chases you and you climb a tree-1. if the bear climbs the tree and eats you ,its a black bear!
2.If the bear just shakes the tree until you fall out and then eats you ,its a grizzly!!

I think it's criminal that bears have to take a test just to get their IDs.
